Issue with my CPU Cooler

[pecaros.igor]

Hi,

The issue that I have is related to my CPU Cooler - Cryorig H5 Ultimate.
When I put it onto my motherboard, the fan does not fit - the RAM stick blocks it. I've tried to move the fan up, but it still did not work. After doing a bit of research online, I found out that you can somehow put the fan on the other side, so it exhausts the air through the cooler *sorry if I'm wrong, the information is very raw and I don't really understand that much about CPU Coolers*. If possible, can anyone give me a tutorial on how to do that, or if you know any other solution, please let me know. I appreciate it very much!

Motherboard - ASUS PRIME Z270-A
RAM - G.SKILL Trident Z 16 GB (2x4 GB)
CPU Cooler - Cryorig H5 Ultimate

Here is the installation guide.
As far as I can tell, it doesn't mention flipping the fan around to the other side.

Perhaps you can flip the whole cooler around?

I don't think that would be a good idea, but again, I do not know...

Perhaps the cooler can go in any 90 degree orientation as long as it fits.

What slots are your ram sitting in? Shouldn't be any issues with 2/4 unless you have ram with huge/wide heatsinks.

Yes, my RAM was in the slot 1 and 3, so I just changed it to 2 and 4 and it works like a dream. Thank you all for helping out
